Creating slow scrolling to indexPath in UICollectionView
ios, nsindexpath, scroll, uicollectionview, uiviewanimation
Solution
You can try this approach:
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGPoint scrollingPoint, endPoint;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSTimer *scrollingTimer;
@synthesize scrollingPoint, endPoint;
@synthesize scrollingTimer;
- (void)scrollSlowly {
// Set the point where the scrolling stops.
self.endPoint = CGPointMake(0, 300);
// Assuming that you are starting at {0, 0} and scrolling along the x-axis.
self.scrollingPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0);
// Change the timer interval for speed regulation.
self.scrollingTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.015 target:self selector:@selector(scrollSlowlyToPoint) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}
- (void)scrollSlowlyToPoint {
self.collectionView.contentOffset = self.scrollingPoint;
// Here you have to respond to user interactions or else the scrolling will not stop until it reaches the endPoint.
if (CGPointEqualToPoint(self.scrollingPoint, self.endPoint)) {
[self.scrollingTimer invalidate];
}
// Going one pixel to the right.
self.scrollingPoint = CGPointMake(self.scrollingPoint.x, self.scrollingPoint.y+1);
}
Problem
I'm working on a project where I'm using a UICollectionView to create an 'image ticker' where I'm advertising a series of logos. The collectionView is one item high and twelve items long, and shows two to three items at a time (depending on size of the logos visible). I would like to make a slow automatic scrolling animation from the first item to the last, and then repeat. Has anyone been able to make this work? I can get the scrolling working using ``` [myCollection scrollToItemAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:(myImages.count -1) inSection:0] atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionRight animated:YES]; ``` But this is way too fast! ``` [UIView animateWithDuration:10 delay:2 options:(UIViewAnimationOptionAutoreverse + UIViewAnimationOptionRepeat) animations:^{ [myCollection scrollToItemAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:(myImages.count -1) inSection:0] atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionRight animated:NO]; } completion:nil]; ``` This yields the desired scrolling speed, but only the last few cells are visible in the series. I suspect they (and even the starting visible cells) are being dequeued immediately. Any thoughts?
